Okay guys, Thanks for your help Regards

Okay here are the photos. Just a few things to note the chamber is stamped 410-76. There is an emblem with BP in it. And there is a number (1300) and then something like np/cm^2, unfortunately the scratch just covers it there. So I presume it is safe to shoot 3" cartridges out of?

Many thanks

Hi Andy, As i've alluded to i've only been shooting for 3-4 weeks so you'll have to forgive my lack of knowledge in this area, but I specifically asked him whether it was in proof and said yes it was. There may have been a few other markings on the gun from memory but I can't say for sure at this moment. Thanks for clearing that up Andy.

Yes it's on my licence as 'sold' but I'm certain that the APM mark on the reciever was the proofmark from a spanish proof house. I haven't had chance to get the forend off yet so there may be more markings there, but from memory the only markings were the serial number and 'APM'.

Hello Stonepark, Thanks for your input, unfortunately I am away from the gun safe for a few days so I can't upload any photos but when I get back i'll put some up on this thread, maybe check back on Mon. evening. I think you are probably right that the dealer just didn't want to commit himself to advising 3" cartridges for the gun, but we'll wait and see what people say when I get round to uploading some of the proofmark photos. Many Thanks

Hello, I am relatively new to the shotgun community, but I have an important question about the first gun that I bought. The Parkemy 410 3" double barrel poacher's shotgun was the gun in question, and when I bought it the dealer said that although it had 3" chambers I can only shoot 2" 1/2 cartridges through it. I couldn't really get a straight answer as to why that was, only that it wasn't proofed for 3" cartridges. The gun has the spanish APM proof mark on it, but could it be that this gun was proofed for black powder cartridges rather that the modern nitro celulose equivalents, or could it be that the gun is fairly old so it's standard practice to shoot lighter loads through it? If anyone has any knowlegde in this field and can shed some light on it that would be very helpful. Regards Jon
